TV and Desktop punchers -- adjusting to betting from laptops

[Calzone Lord]

I've ruined four laptops so far this year. Including a new one that I only had for a couple of days.

Here's a picture from a couple months ago of three of them together.



Two of the three were victims of punches to the screen that turned them a crazy tie-dye color. The one on the back right was broke after I tossed it into a wall.

A friend of mine who works for the track actually made me a laptop using certain parts from two of the different busted computers. So, I'm really only at a minus 3 net. I never had this problem before -- but mostly I'd use a desktop instead of a laptop... and those suckers are built to take a punch.

Does anyone else who plays from home have problems with these fragile machines? Is anyone else who bets at the track a TV puncher? It's a really hard habit to break. I know TV punching is a very common habbit among bettors because I picked it up myself from watching others do it at the old OTB here. I've also seen it all over. I'm going to have to splurge for the indestructable laptop once this makeshift one bites the dust.

Go on Ebay and get yourself a Panasonic Tough Book. You can throw them, take baths with them, run them over with your tank, etc.

By the way, dumbass, it should only be around $100 to get those fixed.

How many hours of porn was viewed on those?

Tons!

Probably still have enough DNA on the keyboards to repopulate the world a couple of times over.

Knowing that, wouldn't you feel better if you lived up to your promise from 13 years ago to die before you were 30?

The screens actually look pretty cool. You could sell them as expensive art work.

DNA included in the price of the art.
